    Is that 612 a Montana plate? Probably. Were you able to catch the city sticker in the window?

    Okie. Just wondering. Haven't seen a Montana plate from around here. Most people who buy from here don't register to Montana.

    I heard Montana has no sales tax or import tax or something-or-other; so many supercar buyers register their car to Montana and then bring it back to where they live. I didn't think people around here did that.

    Ferrari 430 Spider doing a photo shoot on Erie and Kingsbury, walked down to check it out and my camera had no battery! They must have been doing some video too because it kept ripping up Kingsbury every 5 minutes.

    Watch the news tonight ;)

    But to give you a clue: I had only two other spottings in my life as cool as this one: one was Gorbatchow at the CBOT the other Clinton at KSC

    Am I going to be looking at the side with the Suburban or the side with the BMW?

    I thought so until I just learned that he was at the Aragon. So this is just Secret Service.


    But: I still have a spotting of his vehicle. Will post tomorrow :)

    SS is the Suburbans, President might've been in the Cadillac, but otherwise if it were a Suburban there would be a seal on the side IIRC

    When the President flies or is driven, there are always more than one means of transport.


    Some are phantoms(say a double) so no one knows exactly which vehicle or Air Force 1 he's in.

    I can understand having a few Suburbans or limos and believe there are two aircraft in presidential livery and kit but are you saying there is more than one 747 dispatched for each of his trips? I thought one to be a back-up, not a decoy.
    By the way, there is only one "air force one" because whichever aircraft the president is on becomes AF1.
